Overall: Our drywall contractor got underway with a 2 man crew starting Thursday. We are anticipating a larger crew next week to speed things up. Winter weather came back this week with very cold temps and light snow.
Monday: Kyle installed thick foam board in the shop at the garage door header locations to try and gain some insulation along that wall. I worked on wiring that needs to be in place before drywall hanging begins.
Tuesday: Kyle used expanding foam to fill the framed corners of both buildings. I finished up the pre-drywall punch list
Wednesday: 2 truck loads of drywall arrived today. Cory and a helper moved all of it from the driveway into the shop and the house. Rain is expected overnight.
Thursday: A 2 man crew arrived today to begin hanging drywall. I forgot about thermostat wiring in the shop that needs to be extended to the mechanical room in the house where the boiler is located for the concrete slab heat for both buildings. The conduit I installed before we finished the breezeway ceiling, came in handy for fishing the thermostat wire from the house to the shop.
Friday: Completed the thermostat wiring task. Left the drywallers to do their thing
Saturday: Carole and I travelled to Indianapolis to select and purchase vinyl plank flooring for the house. It took awhile for us to finally agree on a specific product… no different from us doing the same floor selection chore in Wichita 4 years ago for that remodeling effort.
Sunday: Scanning receipts, updating reports, and created a new spreadsheet with everything that is still ahead of us and needs to be done before we can request an occupancy inspection and approval from the Brown County building department. Also using the “to-do” list to estimate whether we have enough funds remaining in the construction loan to complete everything on the list. It’s going to be close…
